Fox News contributor slammed for homophobic tweet

Monica Crowley said her controversial tweet was a “straightforward question.”

Fox News contributor Monica Crowley is in the midst of a storm of criticism Thursday after joking on Twitter that Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student harassed by many on the right after speaking about a need for contraceptives, might be a lesbian.

Fluke was infamously attacked by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who called her a “slut” and a “prostitute” on Feb. 29 after she argued in support of contraceptives to House Democrats.
